Basically. like every fall the iPhone always sells like crazy with its new model:ehh:
The best time to buy apple stocks are in April ish-August months so then we the new iPhone kills in sales your make a decent profit cuz you know the stock price will sky rocket if the product sells well:jawalrus:
That's why with stocks you need to pay attention to what's coming out etc...
:jawalrus:

The fukk?

?

Why don't people do this shyt more :mindblown::mindblown::mindblown:
Almost, but start as early as possible in your 20's. I would recommend an S&P 500 index stock (Vanguard) as it just follows the index and the index funds don't have high fees as opposed to most. Also, for selling, look at timing. Gotta hold at least a year to sell (long term capital gains) as any gains will only be taxed at 15/5 % as opposed to regular income rate. Start early and fund as much as possible. After getting your feet wet in an index fund, you can start to "play" in individual stocks and have fun. Read "Millionaire next door" and Dave Ramsey to adjust your lifestyle and when you are :flabbynsick: you will bank. The market will always pay after 10-20 years, so just be patient
Thanks for the info bro, I'll look up some of this shyt:jawalrus:

OP, if you were able to predict the Pokemon Go craze before it occurred (around June), you could have made a killing!

Nintendo shares doubled between July 6 and July 19th

But it takes money to make money.:manny:

I can't beleive it's this simple.


But brehs; if I'm buying shares in a company like Nintendo or Mircrosoft etc. (just as examples), do you guys recommend buying multiple shares so that any sales boom will yield more dividends?

And what happens if you buy stock/shares, but then the company loses money? Do you have to pay them since you are technically a shareholder (hence why people are weary of individual stock)?

Example:
You buy a share of Nintendo for $50.
Next week the stock price goes up to $55.
You sell the share for a profit of $5.
The same works in reverse. You don't "pay" anything if your stock drops in value. What you lose is your initial investment.
I recommend making a free account with Robinhood. It's a free stock trader app that works incredibly easy. You don't pay any fees for trades ever and the interface is very intuitive. It's a great way to drop a small amount into the market and get your feet wet.

And dropped quickly after.
Depending on what a persons goals are the market requires a different level of attention and willingness to react.

Okay, okay, I get it.

Lets pretend Nintendo stocks were 50 bucks before the Wii, and bought a share. Then the wii's sales were incredible, and the stock price went up drastically like to 200 bucks.

I would get paid by Nintendo, and also receive 150 bucks for selling my share?

It sure did. And you would have to be watching your stock daily, even hourly.

That's because everybody realized it wasn't made by Nintendo. Therefore it would have been pure luck if you predicted that jump.

No, your initial $15 investment would be worth $200.
You selling your shares is just you liquidating your assets: you have $200, you're just turning it into cash.
shyt like Tesla has made massive leaps in price, as have shares in Facebook, Google, etc, over time.
Its not nearly as difficult as it seems, there's just heavy research and speculation involved, alongside a risk.

No you don't get paid by Nintendo. You sell it to someone else. A broker handles the job of finding that "someone else" for you
